Question: Hello,

I was not involved fully, still i took an ipill on 7th july, i got my periods on 15th july..my next due date was 15th August. And i have still not got my periods. I am 100 kgs. Its usual for me to have delayed periods for 10-12 days..but this time I haven't got it from so long. Can i be pregnant? Or what could be the reason?

Brief Answer:
Side effect of pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pill or due to Pregnancy.
I will suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done.
If negative, you can safely wait for the periods for another 2 weeks.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
